Meat Loaf - Getting Away With Murder Lyrics






She thought she had the only key
She thought you only opened up to her, well you see
I don't know why you call it love

She though she was the brightest light
But someone else was lighting up your life, what I think
I don't know why you call it love

I'm not suspicious, no not me
But I'm not blind and I'd have to not to see

[Chorus:]
Gettin' away with murder
You can love a girl and hurt her
That's gettin' away with, gettin' away with murder
You can tell a girl you love her
While you're working on another
That's gettin' away with, gettin' away with murder

You have had to love and run
Two in the hand has left you holdin' none, and I don't
I don't know how you call it love, no, no
You're not demanding, no not you
You're understanding
You do what you want to

She thought she was the brightest light
But someone else was lighting up your life, what I think
I don't know why you call it love

I'm not suspicious, no not me
But I'm not blind and I'd have to not to see

[Chorus]

You said she was the only one
But you were cheating all along
There ought to be a law for what you've done

I've got to save you from yourself
I've got to stop you hurtin' someone else

[Chorus x2]

Meat Loaf Getting Away With Murder Comments
  1. J.... R....

    By far the best version. Meat gives the song a much needed lift in the chorus. No disrespect to Patti and Randy, who are fine singers, but this makes their versions sound very pedestrian.

  2. �.... �....

    Охуительная вещь, как и весь альбом!

  3. B.... I....

    This entire album is fantastic.

    B.... I....

    Yes it is i agree.

  4. J.... A....

    Did you know this song was written by David Cassidy's wife of 25 years and mother of his son Beau. I love all of her songs!

  5. �.... �....

    Сколько воспоминаний у меня связано с этой песней , боже ты мой ...

    �.... �....

    Виталий Мальцев И ведь шикарная вещь!Впрочем весь альбом отличный.

    �.... �....

  10. C.... P....

    This man is brilliant, Music, Acting and everything else he does, Totally untouchable.

    C.... P....

    He's funny too! Have you seen the clip of the skit with Stephen Fry?

  11. B.... L....

    is that Corbin Bernson in the Vertigo bit?

    Besides the Hitchcock "homages", the trio of singers are lifted from Little Shop of Horrors.

    B.... L....

    Brain Lock my thought! haha

  12. C.... L....

    MEAT LOAF is the power house of ROCK

  13. p.... g....

    like these songs the early stuff is great !

  14. A.... W....

    I'm just wondering: Is that Cybill Shepherd right at the beginning of the video? The woman putting on her nylons?

    A.... W....

    @Allan Wishart No but damn it looks like her

  15. A.... W....

    I like the video for the tributes to three Hitchcock movies: Psycho, Rear Window and Vertigo. Very nicely done.

  16. C.... ....

    Check out Patti Austin's version to hear the original.  Just found out about Meatloaf's version and I'm still not over the shock that he'd remake a song such as this but, I do love the song too so I understand!

  17. m.... ....

    Great song from the underrated Blind Before I Stop album. 

  18. Z.... Q....

    Very good song. Perfect mixing, thnaks to FF!

  19. r.... a....

    He didn't choose his stage name, he was called it by his Dad.

  20. K.... ....

    I personally like this is the best song off of the album Blind Before I Stop. I'm a huge Meat Loaf fan but this album is my less favorite out of his 13 studio albums. It sound different from his other music. Never the less, I do listen to the album and enjoy the songs especially this one.

    "The album [Blind Before I Stop]... was the first to fully embrace the 80's sound. Critics were concerned about the album missing the characteristic Steinman-influenced sound..." Wikipedia

  21. K.... ....

    I see what you did there ;) "Hell in a Handbasket". I complete agree with you. I understand that Meat Loaf has a style of music that not everyone loves but some of comments (not just on this video) are terrible.

  22. C.... R....

    I really enjoy his singing and I think he is a really nice guy. But reading what some other people write about Meat is disturbing. I think you can state an opinion, but you can do so without the disrespect and hate. We are going to "Hell in a Handbasket".

  23. s.... ....

    Way to go..Meatloaf...why did you pick that name? MMmmm

  24. R.... B....

    the man could sing the dictionary and still rock

  25. u.... ....

    Great Song
